Spaniards loves fish, but never never with chorizo please! (Use smoked paprika , the same flavour but you don’t mix fish and meat) that is The spanish way.
Thanks for your comments, I love seafood and chorizo, scallops especially and often make paella with chorizo and seafood. I didn’t mean to offend anyone by suggesting that Ernie’s recipe (Ernie from Whitburn, long term customer) was Spanish – that’s what he called it, so that’s what I called it too. More than happy to upload good seafood recipes to our website that are more authentic – send them in preferably with a photo too!
